I'm currently in accounting (BIG 4) and I'd like to transfer into finance, specifically IB. I know recruiting from a top 20 MBA (Cornell, Duke, etc) is pretty excellent for placing students into IB positions. Though, the amount of debt for a two year program will roughly be around $200k (excluding any scholarships). I'm a dual citizen (US & Swedish) and I was looking at the MFA program at Stockholm School of Economics as I know that places students particularly well into IB positions as well. If I were to go to SSE, I would only be in about $60k of debt as the tuition is free for citizens and you receive a studying subsidy for attending college. What would be the greater career route? I'm open for working in IB in either the US or in Europe. A couple of small tidbits, I'm currently debt free and I'm in my early 30's. Thanks for the help!

Career Resources
If you want to work in IB in the US get the MBA. Salaries and earnings potential are probably higher in the US for high finance given the sheer amount of deal flow vs Europe.
